The White House said sexually-explicit AI-generated images of pop star Taylor Swift were concerning and that Congress should consider legislation to address fake, abusive images that are proliferating online.

Now that it happened to a billionaire "something needs doing". This society we live in is shit.
and you bet its going to be done in a way that fucks us over somehow
So many women have been calling for action to this, and they only listen when it's Taylor Swift who gets harmed
Nah plenty of rich people have been deepfaked, this is probably getting addressed because of her massive and obsessive fanbase.
Ahh, so things only get done when you can convince twitter idiots to get up in arms.
Yeah, like people haven't been making fake sexual images of celebrities for decades...
to be fair the tools recently got orders of magnitude better
Not better, just easier for the plebes to use.
There's a world of difference in effort and intelligence needed between photoshopping a particular person's head onto a body doing what you fantasize and just typing in "Taylor Swift sucking on a huge black cock while being fucked from behind" and having an AI art program just spit out the wanted result.
The shit this woman has to take is repulsive.
About twelve years ago I met her in Park City, where I lived at the time. I had no fucking clue who she was while we chatted on the lift line but she was very nice and was very excited to ski. I let her take the chair ahead of me and I got the next chair with a middle aged man (late forties+, so about ten years older than me at the time). He excitedly told me that she was Taylor Swift to which I replied something like "Oh, that's cool. I'm not a country fan". He kept yapping all the way up, taking pictures with his phone, etc. At the top he almost made me fall as he bolted from the chair. The poor woman got mobbed by a crowd that seem to.manifest out of thin air. I sat, strapped my foot in (snowboard), took my time, and the poor woman was still surrounded by crazies. She was so excited to ski. I know now she was about twenty but I thought she was ~15 because she was so giddy. I doubt she got to ride. I'm still grossed out by that scene all these years later and things have only gotten worse for her since.
I wish her the best.
Snowboarders like you are such chill dudes. I never was much of a skater as a kid tho I did pick up snowboarding. Last week I strapped my board again, it’s been at least 9 years, was nervous about it as I am not as flexible as I used to (am 38 now) and this kid comes up and says: “Huck Knife! Nice board dude!” Made my day. Made me loose my anxiety and learned that I still knew how to ride.
Why did you give her your lift? Werethey single chairs?
Quad. They were three (I assumed they were together) and I was the only snowboarder. I was starting out and getting off the lift on a tight situation was still not 100% for me, so I didn't want to take them out. I still don't like packed quads. High speed quads are better since they slow down on exit, but IIRC this one was a single speed. Also, on a packed quad I have to keep my leg twisted during the ride so that I don't hit their skis with my board. To avoid that, I always ride all the way to the right.
tl;dr: I didn't want to ride a packed lift and risk wiping out on exit.
That's kind of a side effect of trying to be famous though. It's ridiculous to try and get your image out there and be recognized and then to be upset when you are out there and get recognized. Nio saying she was upset but that obviously getting mobbed with fandom comes with the territory of the industry you put yourself into for work.
Kinda annoying that this has been warned about repeatedly before, and yet only when someone famous has it happen to them that they go “oh ok maybe this is a problem.”
The potential for massive amounts of election fuckery should have been what moved the government to action.
But at least something gave them a kick in the ass, so I suppose yay?
Still, I hope they consult actual subject matter experts, and don't just do a bunch of "common sense" sounding things that don't actually accomplish anything (or worse, cause a ton of collateral damage across all tech industries.)
Nations are fiefdoms.
It's not because she's famous, it's because she's rich.
This is what bothers me so much about this, how many people have been affected by this and the only reason this is finally being treated with the seriousness it deserves is because a famous person is affected?
She's not just famous, she's a billionaire. The government will move mountains for her now.
So many women have been calling out for this and it takes frickin Taylor Shift for them to call for a legislation...
did you expect anything else?
Precedence set by Ticketmaster too....
If I had a list of 1,000 things the White House ought to be doing right now, legislating Taylor Swift deepfakes would be 1,001.
Yeah who cares about women right?
Yeah! Who cares about women, fuck em!
/s
People care about women, you goon. Realize that there are many more important issues affecting the global landscape, we shouldn't care about some fake naked pictures of a popstar.
I'd rather them find solutions to things like the 2 active wars happening in the world, the bubbling civil war on the American southern border, and golbel tensions reaching highs only seen at the beginning of the last 2 world wars...
Lets fix that shit before we allow ourselves the luxury of protecting peoples' shareholders.
She's a robot not a woman
So for the past year there have been of deep fakes of thousands of minors floating around but it really becomes a problem when a mega famous billionaire is affected where it doesn’t really make much of a difference. Not to say it isn‘t about time. It absolutely is. Interesting priorities though.
I think her fans are the one who made this a big issue for media attention.
It's entirely logical and definitional that what happens to a celebrity gets more attention than what happens to non celebrities. It could only be this way. You have fumbled whatever type of moral scolding this was supposed to be. Let's just accept the world is imperfect and celebrate that the issue will get more attention now.
It's not a problem at all. It's an opportunity.
Just think! An entirely new class of merchandise: Make Taylor Swift the avatar of your AI assistant. Cam chat with the genuine Taylor Swift AI.
Or Taylor Swift Movies and cameos. Any nobody actor plays her part and Taylor's likeness is deep-faked onto her. Any show where they pretend that some fictional character is a famous singer. That can be the real Taylor. They can churn that out while the biological Taylor is out there, making money.
But for all the licensing money to roll in, you need to turn a human likeness into a property that can be bought and sold. Best if piracy can be turned into a federal crime in the process. That gives you way more power to snoop out file-sharers and the taxpayer has to foot the bill.
I mean cha-cha-cha-ching. You with me?
Exactly. It's mind blowing the obsession a lot of them have with making pictures of an underage Greta Thunberg.
Sounds like the system is working as intended, it's not a problem in the US unless it's affecting the 1%.
I feel like there are a lot more problems that have been going on a lot longer that should be dealt with.
That’s disgusting. There’s so many of them, though. Which ones are they talking about?
Love the sunny reference. Wish it didn't go over so many people's heads
Pickles will prevail!
Do your best to avoid mrdeepfakes. Don't use a Oculus quest for these immersive videos either.
Teehee
Yes. Don’t mess with T Swizzle! Her and her fans will FUCK. YOU. UP.
Ya! I will...after i look
This has been a thing for three years now. Are there still no laws?
The fuck? Why is it a problem just because of taytay?
Hasnt this been going on since Britney Spears edits in the 90s? Better late than never I suppose. Great governing.
Things the world needs:
governments regulating the Internet more- some others
I wonder how Public Figure law factors in to this.
Yes, let's legislate things that we really can't control
"Fake"
Default AI SETTINGS 90% good must be produced for anything over 10% evil Pause evil until balance is resumed to those settings for the better of humanity...... 🤗
(Don't lose your 💩, had a few beers)
Put your phone down, mân!

I guess the islamists were right and burkas are the only way to protect ourselves from men. The people wondering why young women are skewing left and young men are skewing right since #metoo need only look at the comments on this and similar articles. All tbe porn on the internet is not enough. Men want non consensual porn of any woman at any time. Men want sexual harassment normalized and celebrated. The hurt that this causes to women is nothing more than silly feelings which women need to suppress for the good of their precious penis feelings.
Generalizations will never get you heard outside of your own echo chamber. Your statement is as ignorant and offensive as the bile the red pilled doofuses vomit all over the place.
Touch grass
Probably smoke some grass too and hug some trees.
I’m a man and I don’t want any of those things.
How many men do you know?
How many of them say things or act in ways that make you think they want those things?
I've known hundreds of men and the vast majority act in that way. I am not allowed to call myself a feminist, despite feminism giving me basic human rights, because it is considered misandrist by almost all the men i know. They all consider porn to be their natural right with no regard to consent. I have had to fight and kick and scream to have my ex delete old photos of me because he believes he owns those images and can do as he pleases with them.
You seem like an open minded person and that's good. I hope for the best for you. But i am done.
You have the love the male commenters going "nuh-uh, that's not what women experience!1" as they get offended and make it all about them and "not all men." And then can't figure out why this entire thread just lends this comment credibility. It was one of those every single thread things on reddit and it's no different here. Except maybe worse.
